Budget Rent-a-Car

The Scotland portion of our UK vacation began in Glasgow, so a rental car was needed. Budget was only a short taxi ride from Glasgow Central rail station.
There was a lovely Scottish lady working the counter. She was very friendly and got us all situated. She gave us maps, brochures, and some direction for navigating the city. I also appreciated her suggestion for added liability coverage, since the coverage provided by my auto insurance carrier didn’t extend to international driving.
The car was exactly what I had booked. Diesel, of course. I also paid a little more for an automatic. I can drive a manual transmission just fine, but I’d never driven on the left before, and I didn’t want to deal with the confusion and try to shift gears at the same time. We had to wait a few minutes while they washed the car, though I’m not sure why they bothered since it was forecast to rain for a week straight. I wish they had instead made sure all the trash was out of the car. I found someone’s empty juice box nestled against the back windshield, which you’d think they could have easily seen while washing the thing.
The car return process at Edinburgh Airport was quick and easy. There was only a short walk from the car return to the terminal.
Budget is definitely my go-​to rental car company.
